Chapter 789: Director Lu Faces a Tragedy, Condolences
So he walked over, wrapped one arm around her back, and the other beneath her knees, hoisting her sideways into his embrace.
Then placed her into the shopping cart.
Xia Weibao was about to ask what he was doing when she saw a young couple laughing and running by, and instantly understood.
Wow!
She hadn’t expected Dog Emperor to have a romantic side.
"Husband, let’s go over there, I want to buy instant noodles... no, let’s get some spicy strips instead."
Speaking of instant noodles, she remembered the ones Hepburn made that were crap, guessing she wouldn’t be able to face cup noodles again.
The two of them were dressed elegantly, stood out with their exceptional demeanors, and were good-looking, naturally drawing attention from those around them.
Xia Weibao let her hair down and put on a mask, so she wasn’t worried about being recognized.
For a person of Lu Hualiang’s stature, not many people had the chance to see him, so there was no fear of that either.
Thus, the pair behaved as if no one else was around.
Looking at Xia Weibao in his arms, clutching several bags of potato chips, Lu Hualiang’s lips curved slightly.
He used to think shopping with his wife was childish.
Now, he wanted to relive every juvenile thing lovers do.
They got home at eight o’clock, Lu Hualiang changed into his home clothes, and then pulled Xia Weibao to the kitchen to make a cake.
Cakes were unknown in ancient times, and Her Majesty the Empress found it very novel.
She pulled up a chair and watched with great interest.
As she watched, her gaze kept drifting to Lu Hualiang’s face.
She almost drooled; her man was so handsome!
Emperor Xia Liang had never cooked for her before, and she had not expected him to look so handsome doing it.
Xia Weibao couldn’t help but sigh, it’s great to be good-looking; he could make her knees weak even wearing an apron.
Back then, it was his face that had stolen her soul, which led her to follow him into the palace.
Tsk tsk.
"Do I look good?"
Xia Weibao was lost in her thoughts when his handsome face suddenly loomed close, startling her.
Lu Hualiang leaned in and tenderly kissed the corner of her lips, then went back to making the cake.
After the cake was finished, they sat in the living room. Her Majesty the Empress had been stuck at the Bronze rank for a long time, and pulled Lu Hualiang to play ranked matches with her.
They finished one round just in time for the batter to be baked.
Tasting cake for the first time, Her Majesty the Empress couldn’t hide her excitement.
Back in the palace, her birthday had always been celebrated with a grand banquet, but this was her first time celebrating in the modern age, so it felt fresh.
Then Lu Hualiang brought over some candles, placed twenty of them on the cake, and asked her to make a wish.
Xia Weibao blinked, "Make a wish for what?"
"A birthday wish, don’t you know how to make one?"
Lu Hualiang frowned.
Xia Weibao laughed, "Of course, I do."
It was just that she hadn’t reacted immediately; her memory hadn’t fully adjusted yet, forgive her.
So she put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
Then she opened her eyes and blew out the candles.
Lu Hualiang began to remove the candles, then asked, "What wish did you make, does it have something to do with me?"
"If I say it, it won’t come true," said Xia Weibao with a smile; indeed, it was about him.
About them.
"Give me a hint, is it about me?"
Xia Weibao just smiled without answering, no matter how much he asked, she wouldn’t say.
After Lu Hualiang had cleared away the candles, he glanced at her, half-smiling, "Did you wish for us to be together forever and ever?"
Xia Weibao, "..."
Shit!
How could he have guessed it so accurately!
Lu Hualiang had only intended to tease her, but he hadn’t expected to actually guess right.
His mood instantly soared, "Wife, I didn’t expect you to have the same thoughts as me."
Her secret thoughts exposed, the Empress felt a bit shy and then playfully said, "Stop it~"
And then, she slapped Lu Hualiang on the head.
Since she hit him quite hard and Lu Hualiang wasn’t prepared, he was knocked forward, face-first into the cake...
